A selection of paintings by artist Daniel Fleur. Fleur was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and lives and works in Malmö, Sweden. Characterized by rich, layered textures and use of colour, Fleur’s paintings are inspired by his daily life and explore themes such as the pleasures and pressures of modern living, the materialism of contemporary society, and the complexities of social status and identity. Fleur’s paintings are also infused with a sense of playfulness, using humour to temper some of the weightiness of his subject matter. An important motivation behind his artwork is making the ordinary extraordinary and transforming the way we see and experience the world. Check out more images below.
